I finished my last Raymond Honeyman tapestry, Paisley Palisades. It had taken nearly a year as I was unable to work on it much.
I took it to the sandal-maker to be made into a leather cube (450DH/£36) and to the upholsterer to be stuffed. A "melange" meaning a mixture of Kapok and foam rubber. (100Dh/£8).
I now have a set of four pouffes made from Honeyman designs, his two based on moroccan inspiration and two of his indian paisley designs.
We use them round the midan for guests but I don't think we need any more. My latest projects are cushions for the patio chairs.
I think they are a good mixture of anglo-moroccan style and one of our friends asked where he could but two but was fairly appalled when he realised they each cost over 1000Dh plus 6 months of my time.
